Patent CA-2182269-A1 (CA)
Title: Ancient organisms
Inventor: CANO RAUL J
IPC: C12N1/20
Filed: 1995-01-27
Abstract: The recovery of live ancient bacteria, fungi and other biological material from various sources fossilized in amber or related resins is described. Several ancient bacterial strains have been classified as related to various species of the modern genus Bacillus, for example, based upon their morphological and biochemical characteristics, and enzymatic activity profiles. Although some of the characteristics of the ancient organisms correlate well with their modern counterparts, several differences have been observed. In addition, several of the ancient organisms described herein exhibit potent antimicrobial activitites against modern bacterial and fungal pathogens which attack animals and plants. Various uses for these ancient organisms are envisioned, including their use in agriculture, industrial processes, bioremediation, diagnostic and disease treatment.

Title: Method for Iterative Disk Masking and Automatic Error Repair for Phase Unwrapping
Inventor: VAN DER KOOIJ MARCO WILLEM ANT
IPC: G01S13/90
Filed: 1997-03-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a new alternative method for the phase unwrapping of the interferogram of two SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images of the same area. This new method uses an iterative approach to the phase unwrapping problem by applying local circular or elliptical masks centred on the phase residues. A phase unwrapping error is detected automatically during the unwrapping process by comparing each unwrapped value with neighbouring unwrapped values. This new method for phase unwrapping significantly improves the quality of unwrapped phase maps. This will allow extraction of quantitative information such as height and deformation from interferometric SAR measurements. This is significant for the routine application of SAR interferometry in fields like digital elevation mapping and large scale deformation mapping.

Title: Process and plant for biodegrading pollutants in water
Inventor: LEITZKE ORTWIN
IPC: C02F3/30
Filed: 1995-09-27
Abstract: The process is used for treating water polluted with substances which are difficult to degrade in a purely biological manner. The water is circulated through a reactor container arrangement (24) in which it is treated with ozone, giving rise to mild oxidation of the pollutants. The water passes into a container arrangement (8) having an aerobic biology which, by virtue of the mild oxidation of the pollutants, can further degrade the latter. The water is passed through a main circuit (I) and an auxiliary circuit (II) branched off the latter.

Title: Separator wheel for an air separator
Inventor: KEUSCHNIGG JOSEF
IPC: B07B7/08
Filed: 1997-06-25
Abstract: Separator wheel for an air separator which at its periphery has channels through which separation air loaded with fine material flows into the separator wheel from the outside to the inside. The separation air loaded with fine material is discharged from the separator wheel in axial direction. Channels in axially different radial planes have different angles (.alpha.) of incline to the radial direction of the separator wheel. The angle of incline (.alpha.) of the channels near the outflow end of the separator wheel is greater than the angle of incline (.alpha.) of the channels remote from the outflow end. The incident flow of separation air which is loaded with fine material toward the outer port of channels is influenced by the slope of the channels relative to the radial direction of the separator wheel. The channels are aligned in axially different radial planes at different angles (.alpha.) to the radial direction of separator wheel. This results in more uniform separation properties.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are disclosed for conveying different types of force responsive articles, such as steel and aluminum cans, and particularly for efficiently conveying different force responsive articles between first and second positions, including positions at different elevations.  A conveyor, such as a chain, moves the articles along a predetermined path between the first and second positions with the articles maintained in engagement during movement along the predetermined path and with the conveyor using different applied forces for different ones of the types of articles to be conveyed, such as a magnetic force for conveying steel cans and a negative pressure (vacuum) force for conveying aluminum cans.  A support face for the conveyor has magnets mounted thereat to establish the magnetic force and apertures communicating with an adjacent plenum to establish the negative pressure force.  The applied force is tapered near the ends of the conveyor, preferably using shorting bars, and a bar placement pattern for applied force adjustment is utilized to facilitate article movement onto and/or from the conveyor.

Patent CA-2218089-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOHANSSON BENGT
IPC: H04B10/275
Filed: 1996-04-03
Abstract: A communication network has a flexible bi-directional bus architecture (FBDNA) and is arranged as a ring structure. Each node of the network has at least one on/off node switch, i.e., a switch that permits or blocks transmission around what would otherwise be a ring. If the network has one node switch per node, one node switch is set initially off to avoid problems with circulating amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) normally associated with a ring structure. If a fiber break occurs, the node switch (or node switches) in the node (or nodes) next to the break and on the same side of the node as the break switches off, and the node switch that was off before the break switches on, permitting the network to operate largely as before.  If the network has two node switches per node, two node switches next to each other in neighboring nodes are initially set off, and if a cable break occurs, both node switches around a break switch off, and the node switches that were initially off switch on. The network provides protective switching of traffic and solves the problem of circulating ASE in a simple and economical way. The network also permits wavelength reconfiguration to reduce the number of required wavelengths.

Patent CA-2218633-A1 (CA)
Title: An improved process for manufacture of uniformly sized metal spheres
Inventor: REID KENNETH G
IPC: B22F1/17
Filed: 1996-04-19
Abstract: An improved process for the manufacture of uniformly and accurately sized metal spheres, particularly copper spheres, which comprises the steps of classifying a starting lot of spheres into closely sized fractions; separately electroplating each size fraction to a desired final mean diameter and size distribution; and then combining the plated fractions to give a metal sphere product having the requisite mean particles size and size distribution. The electroplating build-up step is characterized by a high level of precision.  Additional benefits derive from the high hardness of copper electroplate on relatively soft copper starting particles which facilitates grinding or polishing irregularly shaped plated particles down to the desired sphericity and mean diameter, from the ability of metal such as copper electroplate to cover and envelop contaminated surfaces of starting particles, and from the ability to produce spheres having a unique combination of bulk and surface properties.

Title: Picture print generating method and system, and recording medium
Inventor: TANAKA HIROSHI
IPC: G06T11/60
Filed: 1997-11-13
Abstract: When a picture print is generated by editing a picture image recorded on a film, the print in accordance with a customer's requirements is generated by simple operations and at a low cost. Low resolution image data of a picture image read from a film are recorded in a recording medium, in addition to software for image editing, and provided to a customer so that the customer can carry out editing operations on the picture using a personal computer or the like. When a print is ordered, editing instruction information generated by recording the operations the customer has carried out for the editing is received from the customer via the recording medium. Based on the editing instruction information, a scanner reads a film in high resolution and a printer outputs a print after automatic editing on the image data.
